NRC is responding to the needs of the refugees by providing shelter, education, livelihoods and ICLA support in collaboration with the Government of Ethiopia, UNHCR and other partners.

NRC has an Area Office in Gambela, which alongside 6 other area offices fall under the Ethiopia Country programme with a country office in Addis Ababa. In total the operation has 290 staff including 9 internationals.
